We were looked after from the moment we arrived, and our guides Ram Khatiwada and Prabin Tamang were excellent on the trek to EBC - which was a life changing journey. In particular, the whole Icicles team saved the day on our way out to Lukla, and again when we returned to Khatmandu. Thank you.

Two day trip to Machu…

We booked a two day trip to Machu Picchu for a group of four people. The tour was run efficiently and we had a great time.
We had lunch up the hills cooked by very hard working cooks and it was delicious.
When our climb was over we were taken to our hotel, Qoya Palace, in Aguas Calientes. This was the worst hotel I have ever encountered. We were all tired and in need of a hot shower. However, there was no hot water and in our room no running water at all. Having paid over £400 each for a trek, lunch and a room for one night, this was very poor value. We were also not allowed back into our rooms the next day even though checkout was at 10 am.
I would suggest not staying in Aguas Calientes for longer than a few hours. The second day was a wasted day after going to the Inca site early in the morning. We would have preferred travelling back to Cusco early.
This was a great experience and was run very well and on time. However, if you are going to charge what you charge, a better hotel would have got you a more favourable review.

An adventure of a lifetime

An adventure of a lifetime. I found the altitude quiet challenging. Great group of women hiking together. Both the guide and assistant guide were great. I have such respect for the sherpa's and am so grateful for their assistance with luggage.

Im not sure where to begin

Im not sure where to begin. From the moment we arrived it was seamless. Met at the airport, straight to the hotel no issues.

Next day they had organised a city sightseeing tour. Again, really well run and enjoyable and allowed us to get to know others in the group.

The expedition, I could say amazing, breath taking (literally) but they do not do it justice. The guides were great and knowledgeable. Everyone spent the night on base camp and we have gained lifelong friends as a result of this experience.

The joining instructions clear and mostly accurate. This was a great trip and simply can't recommend enough.

Helpful and everything booked for me.

Anna was extremely personable and gave me good advice. She was clear about what the Intrepid tour included. She noted that I needed an additional night's stay and transfers and arranged these for me as well as giving me options for my flights which she then also booked so everything was arranged for me.

Logistics and organizations were great

Logistics and organizations were great
Begi the tour guide was very easy going and did her best to make sure everyone is ok
But I’m disappointed we didn’t eventually visit song kul and the tour brought us to issykul lake in the end. Song kul was written in the itinerary

Group was good as well just about the right number of people we got 12
I think 16 would have been too many!

Brilliant EBC trek…

Cant recommend the adventure people highly enough.

Booking was seemless, and questions and queries were answered promptly and efficiently from Rachael at the adventure people, who has been amazing throughout.

If you want to trek ebc, then this company is the place to look at!

I have just got back from my 17 day…

I have just got back from my 17 day Everest base camp trek. Even though we booked it two years in advance , the level
Of communication was second to none . Any question or query we had was answered very quickly to put our mind at rest.

Even in all the madness due to the war in the middle east flaring up weeks before we were due to fly , the help we received in rearranging flights and getting refunded from Emirates was extremely helpful and I’m sure Rachael was very busy processing this for us.

As for the trip itelf , it was the trip of a lifetime the organisation before and when we arrived was faultless. The hotels , treehouses we stayed in were great . The guides so knowledgeable and ensured our safety on the trails and what we ate during the trek to ensure a very positive experience . The views on the clear days was truly breathtaking , as was our first views of Mount Everest , Ama Dablam , lhotse, nurse, pumori. The Himalayan view are truly stunning pictures do not do them justice .

I’m very glad we chose the adventure people as we also got to spend time at Base camp to trueky experience in a short period base camp life for the summiteers.

All in all it was the adventure of a lifetime and exceeded what I hoped it would be and that is down to the organisation, down to the guides and the company to make it so many memories I will treasure to a lifetime .

This was a once in a lifetime…

This was a once in a lifetime experience. Even in the middle of a war, we still managed to enjoy every second.
The adventure company dealt with all our questions and concerns, and there were plenty! Every part of our trip went smoothly. Our guides and porters were absolutely fantastic! Sarala told us what to expect and wear everyday, Dikish was the best spotter for all the animals during our trip, they were amazing, patient, fun and we throughly enjoyed learning all about them and their culture.
I would highly recommend this company after being recommended myself. Thank you!

The experience of life time.

I had an overconfident approach to the Everest Base Camp trek before it began. Only to find that this wouldn’t have been successful without the help of the staff of Icicles Adventure, who were the local organizers of the event. The guide, Diwakar, was not only a guide but also went above and beyond to ensure I succeeded in my mission. The team at the office (Indira and Parasu Ram) was constantly in contact with Diwakar to ensure our progress and well-being. I will recommend this company 100% without any second thought. When the time came for us to depart, the last leg. From Lukla to Kathmandu, the weather changed, and the entire flight schedule came to a standstill. They worked towards it tirelessly and found a way out for us on time.

16 days in fantastic Costa Rica

An absolutely fantastic 16 day tour through Costa Rica booked through The Adventure People (but actually a G Adventures tour). TAP were always fast and responsive when I needed anything, and were actually slightly cheaper than booking with G Advenures directly.

Beware !

Rhiann was my travel consultant and very nice too . I paid upfront to do a tour of Vietnam but unfortunately the tour was full . Of course my money was repaid . By this time Adventure people had booked my flight with Emirates so rather than lose money I decided to travel Indy . Adventure people did kindly offer to find hotels for me but I found it was just as easy and a lot less £ to do it myself . My nightmare began when I found myself stuck in Thailand because of the mad one bombing the planet . Just like thousands of other stranded travellers I was on tenterhooks wondering if I was ever going to get a flight home . Of course I contacted my booking agent , ie Adventure People who advised me to contact Emirates . Just like countless other travellers all I got was ‘check back in 2 days to see if your flight will take off or be cancelled again ‘ . When I returned home I was reminded that all obligations and rights due to you from travel companies are to be found under terms and conditions. Did I read them ? No! That’s why I say beware . I am of course reading all other reviews and will let you know how my next trip with Adventure people goes .

Great experience in Peru

Great trip with activities all as outlined beforehand
My only criticism of the company is the correspondence was slow often needing prompt for replies and we had a couple of last minute change of hotels

Really well managed

top quality arrangements by the Adventure People team. A number of flight changes before even at the very last minute, did not cause any issues. I was still picked up at Kathmandu airport and taken to the hotel, despite the lateness of my arrival.

The Trek team themselves were so good, always someone on hand to look after us as we made our way to EBC.

Great Hotel, easy to book and make arrangements, seriously folks, go with these people, you will not regret it.
